restriction is no longer required.
To restrict the variable, choose <ZH>Goto -> Set variables</> and
search for variable &V1& (&V3&) in the list. Make the resriction and
subsequently continue the planning session.
To change the variable definition, choose the tab page <ZH>Variables</>
in the context of planning area &V2& (&V4&) and reset the indicator
'Restriction of values required by user'.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
